San Ramon police are searching for a man who entered the US Bank branch at 2821 Crow Canyon Monday, briefly taking a hostage before making off with an undetermined amount of cash.
Police determined the suspect entered the bank at approximately 11:59 a.m., contacting several bank tellers and demanding money, telling them to give him large bills. During the robbery, the suspect was observed to be in possession of a firearm, thought to be a revolver. Prior to leaving the bank, the suspect directed one of the employees to accompany him out of the building. The suspect walked with the employee for about 150 yards to a residential area at which point he directed her to return to the bank.
The suspect (pictured below) was described as a white male adult, approx. 40-45 years of age, with gray colored facial hair (stubble). He was wearing a dark colored pea coat, gray hooded sweatshirt, black beanie, dark colored trousers and dark colored cotton or wool gloves.

Glad no one was hurt.
Not hard to believe he left on foot. That center is always in gridlock.
Wondered what was going on. Thanks!
“Are we taking hostages now?” was the quote from the movie, The Town. As it turned out, hostage taking was a bad idea. It’s the difference between time in prison and a lifetime in prison.
@David – … not to mention the wear and tear on the hostage. Glad this one worked out and no one was hurt. Going to have to dial up “The Town” again!
Attica Attica Attica!
